Program type already present: android.support.v4.media.MediaBrowserCompat$CustomActionCallback

Question

I completely new to Android Development and can\'t seem to resolve this error: \"Error: Program type already present: android.support.v4.media.MediaBrowserCompat$Custom

Answer 1

At least for me the issue was with the implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0-alpha1' dependency. I went into the menu in Android Studio to create a Blank Fragment in Kotlin just to see what that would look like and the dependency above was added.

Once i removed that dependency the error went away.
